abolish ICE

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.

just so we’re all clear: the reason they keep using dolls as their example is because they’re trying to frame caring about material stuff as feminine and thus inherently shameful

that one scene in SINNERS is one of the most breathtaking feats of cinema i've seen in years. coogler is cooking.

Just finished the first 3 episodes of ANDOR season 2, and Genevieve O’Reilly is absolutely the star. Hits it out of the park!

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

SORRY. Sorry. Have we seen this *incredible* news video coming out of Queensland? Wait for the witness/witnesses statement

“The Village Bride” is one of my favorite things that Star Wars has ever done. Could not be more excited!

At risk of repeating myself, I can’t overstate how much The Village Bride and Visions news in general has improved my mood. Can’t wait.

AOC: And you know who from Utah voted for that? Both of your senators—Mike Lee and John Curtis Crowd: Boooo AOC: They know that’s not what you want. But they also know they’re not there to serve the working class—they’re there to serve themselves and the billionaires who paid them

The lesson: this is what bipartisanship with fascists gets you. Fascist do not care about bipartisanship. If you pursue it with them, they will make a fool of you. There is only defiance and opposition. That’s all any decent people want from their leaders anyway. Those who won’t can gtfo.

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

the guys who crash the economy every time promising to not crash the economy this time

you have to be genuinely stupid as fuck to think american companies are going to respond to tariffs by building factories and moving manufacturing to the US. i don't know how else to say it. you have to be genuinely braindead

Murphy: "The vast majority of Republicans, their number one priority is Trump seizing power, and the Trump family and the MAGA universe holding power forever ... with the exception of maybe 20 Republicans in the Senate, the GOP inside Congress is done with democracy."

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

Nothing - absolutely nothing - prevented news organizations from running this headline before the election, when it was equally true as now and could have made a difference.

me to the united states: this could be us but you playin’

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Excellent work by new NYT headline writer Werner Herzog

They’ll never accept it, but everyone who cast a vote for Donald Trump did real, generations-long damage to the United States and the west in exchange for essentially nothing of value.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

BREAKING: Catcher Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners are finalizing a six-year, $105 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. Deal starts this season and buys out three years of free agency. A huge deal to keep a franchise catcher in Seattle.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

Americans are in denial about the implications here because they wish it wasn't happening. But this is the behavior of a dictator. It's the sort of thing that warrants secession or revolution. The Republic is over the second federal funding is withheld pending a governor's personal apology.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media. But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense. I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

Just unbelievable

These are innocent people, seeking asylum, who have been shipped to the comic book version of a totalitarian labor camp, with zero process at all, based on a deeply xenophobic administration noticing their tattoos. It's fascism outright, at home, and history will damn the Democrats who are silent

It also more clearly establishes that what’s going on here is human trafficking.

Lot of really angry people on here, folks mad at what’s happening in this country and Democratic leaders. Have you considered putting your effort into something more productive and fulfilling, like Seattle Mariners baseball?

The world our children will inherit will be fraught with peril and poison. "EPA head says he'll roll back dozens of environmental regulations, including rules on climate change"

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So, I think what American farmers are waking up to is the fact that Canadians are no longer buying their products. We’re just not going to participate in this abusive relationship. You threaten us, we don’t buy your products. How about that?

Moulton: "Trump thinks if you try to kill cops to overthrow the government and change an election, that's not domestic terrorism, but somehow having a protest in front of a Tesla dealership is? The bottom line with Trump is freedoms and liberties belong to people who agree with him, and that's it."

PEOPLE OF BLUESKY! Ahhhhhh, it smells good here. Behold a trailer for season 2 of Poker Face! It’s gonna be a good one. May 8th on the almighty Peacock!

resent the hell out of how much time we all have to spend thinking about the worst, weirdest losers alive! every day a new terrible guy, every evening some awful new lady!

the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path

Update: DHS — whose officers conducted this detention — did not answer questions. It instead directed us to the White House.

Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted a new analysis showing that the wealthiest 1% has extracted $79 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was redirected upward—enough to provide every U.S. worker with a $32,000 raise.

It’s always interesting to see which movies do well at the Oscars. I liked ANORA a lot! Looking back at 2022 and 2023, I’d say I liked it about as much as TAR and MAY DECEMBER. I gave all three films 4 1/2 stars. Neither of the other two won a single Academy award!

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

I’m blocking anybody who posts or reposts a Gen AI image It’s not progressive to use technology that exists because of theft, makes billionaires even richer & sucks up resources and announces to artists that you hate them and want them to starve
